You mean, you ignored the sources.
Not on me that you didn't post the relevant part of the source. And I doubt there was a relevant part because you never posted it. Again, basic logic doesn't track that a TINY portion of the police being far-right can be affecting institutional racism in any significant/meaningful way.

If the US seriously attacks Iran proper, Iran will be forced to retaliate. Again. The attack where US soldiers dies was already retaliation after some attack in Iran itself.

That is the road to an actual war, a war the US is pretty ill prepared for.
You could kill the IRGC general outside of Iran.

I don't think I've seen more "go woke get broke" sentiment for a game than with Suicide Squad. Seems people reallyyyy have it out for some writing consultants, Sweet Baby Inc or whatever. No idea who they are, but they seem to have been involved in very high profile and successful games. Sounds like this game is their first dud.

Anyway, I think there is some shallow validity to the claim. There's the usual brain-dead "Um actually, Batman isn't ethical?" crap, and Wonder Woman does get random preferential treatment over the other members of the League.

But to claim that this "ruined" the game? Please, some shitty writing decisions are the least of this game's many, many problems.

For the most part I think its the far right just trying to co opt a product for their own ends. If they see a game is unpopular they insist its only because of wokeness rather than any real issue such as it being a live service for this game, or being a rushed piece of poop in the case of Andromada. Meanwhile when a product is good they have a habit of insisting its anti woke and deliberately made to be TRUE game for the TRUE GAMERS! This reached the height of hilarity for the Mario movie where they had to change tactic and switch from the Mario movie sucking because woke, to shouting that the Movie was the anti woke REAL video game movie for REAL GAMERS, even when all the woke stuff they previously deemed unforgivable was still in the movie.

Suicide has been a punching bag for years so its the perfect game for the far right to co opt into their ideology.

Huh, so that's why have noticed an unusual spike in the negative online backlash to SS, like the type that goes off ranting in weird directions too hard for too long, ignoring the many reasonable criticisms of the game. Makes much more sense now. Happened with some other game too am failing to recall the name of, so is a pattern worth taking note of for future reference.

Almost every time the name Thomas Friedman creeps across the screen, it's associated with some variation of vague fuckery. Though not quite like this.

Even Wonder Woman's treatment isn't that much better. It's an improvement over the Injustice series but that's pretty damning with faint praise. People are particularly up in arms because Batman is put in the role Wonder Woman usually plays in these kinds of stories.

This is far from consistent though. Remember the Starfield pronouns meldown? This was the same year as Baldur's Gate 3 which was gay as hell and allowed you to put dicks on gals and vaginas on dudes AND choose pronouns... and yet not a peep from the usual crowd.

YouTube recommend algorithm been kinda short circuiting and acting sorta broken lately. When it ain't trying to suggest alread watched or actively avoided 3-year old videos from current subs, a few rando RW reactionary, or extremely white Mormon/Christian nobodies with a hundred or so views start popping up.

Out of curiosity googled the name to learn they're a J.Peterson fan who branded themselves "ex-sjw" or "y I left the left" type some time ago and coasted on that unconvincing copium of a backstory since. Also looks like they were the one who released a book with mostly empty pages cause they thought they could convince others they were in fact clever and not just a lazy hack. Anyhow, what amused the most is..

"Artist, polymath, illustrator, explorer, conceptual thinker, subverter, mystic, obsessive researcher, reader, querent, introverted, experimenter, honest,..."

Having typed out a lot of CVs through life, am familiar with the tactic of fluffing them up with unprovable vibes-based bullshit to compensate an already sparse wasteland of an unmarketable life. Yet am reading right there what looks like a parody of that tactic and nowt else. It's 100% padding! Not seen a human made of 100% padding before!
